Symposium Session – Colloquium of Tastes: Rum and Sake

Colloquium of Tastes: Rum and Sake

Colloquium of Taste: An Event for the Adventurous Drinker: In our Colloquiums we sample a variety of different alcohols, from spirits, to liqueurs. So far we have done rum, gin, bourbon, and vodka. We will discuss the history and making of the featured spirit. Following the brief presentation will be a sampling session accompanied by a Q&A. As we buy all the alcohol for this event out of our pockets we ask for a donation to the event. Generally we will include a souvenir glass of some sort. This is a 21+ event.

Speakers:

Calamity Dawn and Dorian Bridges are the co-founders of Calamity Labs. The Labs were formed out of a desire to educate people in an entertaining fashion on alcohol, spirits and liqueurs. As professional bartenders and mixologists we have a fairly deep understanding of how cocktails work. Using the information that has been garnered over this time, we will discuss various aspects of the bar, from behind, mixing drinks, to being on the stool, enjoying those cocktails. Discussions of various techniques and recipes. As well as how to keep the others around you, and yourself as well, safe as you enjoy. In addition to our knowledge on alcohol we also know a fair bit about aspects related to cocktail crafts. From making your own ingredients, to safe service, bar etiquette, and other hedonistic interest
